Detect port conflicts before starting application server
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-4010
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4010
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: core
Reporter: Cedric Hurst
Like many Geronimo users, I've often experienced port conflicts when starting
my app server. These conflicts result in the dreaded NET_BIND error. While
most of us have learned to hunt down the error by running netstat and comparing
the ports against those defined in the config-substitutions.properties file, it
would be much more user-friendly to have the app server do this automatically.
Ideally, the server would detect the port conflict on startup, do a netstat in
the background, and provide an error message with the port and conflicting
system process. At the very least, the NET_BIND errors should be caught and
replaced with friendlier error message containing the conflicting port number.
